acp-2016-1178 : “Origin and variability of volatile organic compounds observed at an Eastern Mediterranean background site (Cyprus)”
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This manuscript presents the on-line measurements of 24 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during a field campaign at a background site of Cyprus in March 2015. Based on the measurements, the temporal variability of VOCs was investigated. Six major sources and corresponding origins of VOCs were addressed by time series analysis, PMF receptor model, as well as CPF and CF. Furthermore, the influences of biogenic and anthropogenic sources on VOCs compositions were distinguished by a combined analysis of VOCs PMF factors with source apportioned OA. The work described in this manuscript would definitely provide a better understanding of the air pollution of VOCs as well as their sources and fate impacting the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Formaldehyde over the eastern Mediterranean during MINOS: Comparison of airborne in-situ measurements with 3D-model results
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is an important intermediate product in the photochemical degradation of methane and non-methane volatile organic compounds. In August 2001, airborne formaldehyde measurements based on the Hantzsch reaction technique were performed during the Mediterranean INtensive Oxidant Study, MINOS. The detection limit of the instrument was 42 pptv (1σ ) at a time resolution of 180 s (1...
